“Times are constantly changing and the entrepreneurial ecosystem is also evolving rapidly. Faculty
members who are key contributors to an amiable entrepreneurial environ, need to remain updated at all
times. AICTE has, therefore, planned these FDPs to create an upbeat space where students can learn
from faculty members who are abreast with what's new in the discipline.”
- Prof. Anil D Sahasrabudhe,
Chairman, AICTE

“The best thing to do in the domain of social entrepreneurship is to nurture resilient young entrepreneurs.
I am thankful for ATAL Academy and EDII for coming up with a customized programme based on the
needs and requirements of the market and the educators and professionals.”

“Social entrepreneurs are agents of positive change who use an entrepreneurial approach to address
societal problems. Faculty members developing social entrepreneurs and mentoring budding social
entrepreneurs have an important role to play. They are partakers in creating a balanced society."
- Dr. Mamta Rani Agrawal,
Advisor-I, ATAL Academy

“The objective of this programme is to orient young entrepreneurs towards adopting social
entrepreneurship as a career. Their job is challenging as they are expected to deal with social challenges
and nd innovative solutions. Faculty-mentors can impart them the necessary learning, build in them the
relevant traits and mentor them to develop an eye to spot challenges and come out with
outcome-based answers.
- Dr. Amit Dutta,
Deputy Director, ATAL AICTE

“Perhaps only social entrepreneurship education has the ability to sustain inclusive economic growth
which has an impressive tilt towards social and environmental values. Social Entrepreneurship education
has the potential to provide unique opportunities to young people so that they experience what it is to
make a difference to the lives of people and do business at the same time.”
- Dr. Sunil Shukla
Director General - EDII

“In all ways, EDII is into the task of building a robust economy and so we very well understand the
relevance of social entrepreneurs as much as commercial entrepreneurs for a wholesome society. EDII
wishes to reach out to as many faculty members as possible so that they in turn can reach out to potential
social entrepreneurs and ensure creation of a balanced society and economy.”
